I hated Shadow of Mordor when I got it. It was Linux native so I had to try it. Played past the return time so it sat in my library for a while. Got bored and tried it again. Didn’t really care for the story but the gameplay was awesome. I have SoW to try, but no real motivation currently
I have been working with golang the past few weeks. Seems like it is getting more adopted. Lots of our 1.8 Java apps are being rewritten in Go. Still have some die hard Java fans, but most teams are looking at other languages.
